With all of the hoopla surrounding the Spectre and Meltdown security bugs found in consumer CPUs, setting Intel pretty much on fire, how are the other companies fairing? Well, NVIDIA is doing fine.
NVIDIA's revised security bulletin has provided some insight, with NVIDIA CEO and co-founder Jen-Hsun Huang saying: "Our GPUs are immune, they're not affected by these security issues. What we did is we released driver updates to patch the CPU security vulnerability. We are patching the CPU vulnerability the same way that Amazon , the same way that SAP, the same way that Microsoft, etc are patching, because we have software as well".
Huang added: "I am absolutely certain that our GPU is not affected".
